Events Manager - Regional Services

Liverpool or London

£34,390 - £36,000

The regional services team (RST) sit within the wider RCP regional team to support the operational delivery of many face-to-face and digital events and initiatives. This includes, but is not restricted to, a series of in-person educational conferences held across the UK; several large-scale online conferences; and a bespoke webinar series. These events are designed to provide CPD opportunities and career support for physicians and RCP members across the UK. We pride ourselves on offering high quality events and activities, and the RST strive to provide consistency across events, taking pride in offering a seamless service to our members, regardless of where they are located.

As the Event Manager for the regional services team, you will play a crucial role in developing, delivering and managing the full programme of regional events. Leading the busy team (3 direct reports) you will be responsible for overseeing our diary of regional events and for ensuring standard processes and standard operating procedures are maintained, developed and implemented across the team's activities. With responsibility for the operational success and quality of regional events, you will have a strong eye for detail and a drive for continuous improvement. You will also be able to offer guidance and support to the wider team during the development or delivery of new events and activities where necessary, and you will have digital confidence, allowing you to learn and share new processes.

This role will involve travel across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to attend meetings and events both regionally and nationally.

What we are looking for

The ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience in developing, delivering and evaluating a wide portfolio of in-person and online events. You should be able to think strategically and plan our busy event schedule - as well as work effectively across the wider RCP to ensure our programme complements the wider college offering.

It is crucial that you have experience of managing and leading a small team, and of developing processes and systems to ensure high standards and consistency. Experience of financial management is also necessary, and you should feel confident processing invoices and managing event income and expenditure, as well as possess an ability to support the annual budget setting and forecasting.

You must be able to demonstrate strong project management skills and a commitment to achieving our goal of delivering high quality events and initiatives, even in high pressure environments. You must also evidence digital competence and a willingness to champion digital tools and processes.

Experience working within a membership organisation, and of confidently devising medical event programmes would be advantageous but not critical, provided the candidate displayed a keen interest in learning, and an understanding of how to develop educational resources and agendas.
